Description
Block Circuit Breaker simulates a single-phase switch that uses an external signal and a current value to break an electrical circuit.
The table below shows both the external signal vT and the parameter value Zero crossing determine the status of the block.
| Condition | Block behavior | Resistance used | |
|---|---|---|---|
vT < Threshold |
The switch is closed. Port 1 is connected to port 2. |
Closed resistance |
|
vT ≥ Threshold |
It opens when the current crosses zero after vT ≥ Threshold (check box Zero crossing removed) |
When the current on port 1 passes through zero, this port is disconnected from port 2 (check box Zero crossing installed). The switch is open. |
Open conductance |
Opens when vT < Threshold |
The switch is open. |

Threshold —
Threshold voltage

Details
The threshold voltage for the control port is vT. The unit uses the value of this parameter as the value of the control signal at the beginning of the simulation to determine whether the switch is initially open or closed. If the check box is selected Zero crossing when the voltage rises above the threshold value, the switch opens when the current crosses zero. If the check box is Zero crossing If it is removed, the switch opens as soon as the voltage rises above the threshold value. When the voltage on the control port drops below the threshold value, the switch closes.

# Zero crossing — the behavior of the switch when the current crosses zero
Details
If the check box is selected Zero crossing when the voltage rises above the threshold value, the switch opens when the current crosses zero. If the check box is Zero crossing If it is removed, the switch opens as soon as the voltage rises above the threshold value. When the voltage on the control port drops below the threshold value, the switch closes.
